BATAVIA — Master gardening tips and a buffet of herb-roasted chicken, red potato salad with dill and fresh fruit with cream are on tap for the next YES! Cafe lunchtime series. It’s set for noon, May 8 at YWCA of Genesee County, 301 North St.
Ingrid Bowen, a Master Gardener from Cornell Cooperative Extension, will share advice about how to reap a bountiful garden and what flowers do well in this Western New York climate.
Retired teacher and avid gardener Wally Guenther will talk about container gardening, which is perfect for those with apartments or homes with a smaller lawn space.
There will also be an opportunity to ask questions after the presentations.
Genesee ARC’s Culinary Arts staff will prepare garlic-rosemary chicken breast, red potato salad with onions, celery and dill and assorted fresh fruit with homemade whipped topping to round out the lunchtime program.
‘‘The YES! Cafe is a fun, entertaining way to offer useful information along with a healthy and delicious meal,’’ Executive Director Jeanne Walton said.
‘‘It furthers the YWCA’s mission to form partnerships with other community agencies and, since it looks as though spring has finally arrived, it offers a great opportunity to get some tips and ask questions about your gardens at home.’’
Those participating in the annual Day of Caring have been invited to take a break from their volunteer tasks and get a freshly prepared meal on site or take-out.
Day of Caring organizations are asked to call for more information.
Lunch and program is $10. RSVP by Friday at (585) 343-5808.
